Nicest part of today was sitting in Piccadilly Gardens on a mostly-sunny, warm-for-Manchester day (when I checked a few minutes later, it was 64°F), full of people who had the same idea about spending lunchtime outside, eating black cherry ice cream and watching tiny children, just about old enough to walk, toddling around the fountains that rise and fall from the concrete there.

Today had some tough stuff in it, tomorrow morning will come too soon, the next few days will be weird, so this is a nice grounding memory to hang on to.

The sky was so blue, the ice cream delicious, the sun warm on my back, the gentle murmur of the crowds that appear as soon as the sun comes out, I swear I even felt one tiny drop of water reach me from the fountains to land on the back of my hand.

I do love the way people go Yay Sunshine at lunchtime. And just-walking children are adorable.
